BURNER FOR GAS-STOVES OR THE LIKE.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 642,229, dated January 30, 1900.

Application filed August 25,1899. Serial No. 728,521. (No model.)

To (tZZ whom, it nutj concern:

Be it known that I, FRANZ HOUBEN, manufacturer, of Aachen, Germany, have invented a certain new and useful Burner for Gas- Stoves or the Like, of which the following is a full and clear specification.

The object of my invention is to provide such an arrangement as will effect a perfect mixture of the gas and air without using a mixing tube or chamber of great length.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of the invention. tail sectional view of a modified form of mixing-chamber. Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view of the mouthpiece of the burner.

A mouthpiece Cb is screwed into the gas pipe 0'. This mouthpiece or nozzle has a plurality of outwardly inclined or diverging gasorifices b. Immediately above the nozzle and 2c surrounding the same is an outwardly-flaring wall having air-inlet openings f therein, and surmounting this wall there is placed a frustoconical wall 0. This is located in position to be impinged upon by the jets issuing from said inclined openings 5. This wall 0 is surmounted, in turn, bya mixing-chamber d, the walls of the latter flaring outwardly and ending in a cylindrical portion provided with lateral holes 6, through which the gas passes.

The jets impinging against the inclined wall 0 rebound, as indicated in Fig. 1, and

Fig. 2 is a de-' I strike against the opposite wall of the chamher (1. Thus the jets cross and recross the space, and the gas and air become thoroughly mixed before reaching the openings 6. The parts 0 and cl instead of being of the shape shown in Fig. 1 may be of different shape, as shown in Fig. 2, where the part cl is cylindrical and surrounds the frusto-conical part c. The openings are marked e in Fig. 2.

A plate g separates the space around the air-inlets f from the space around the upper part of the burner. This plate prevents any gas or mixture rising along the exterior of the parts 0 cl, which might happen in case of unfavorable drafts.

I claim- In a gas-stove, a burner-nozzle having a plurality of outwardly inclined or diverging gasorifices, an outwardly-flaring wall encircling the same having air-openings, a frusto-com ical wall surmounting said flaring wall and located in position to be impinged against by the jets issuing from said openings and an enlarged mixing-chamber above said frustoconical wall, substantially as described.
